Managing the Event Store on Snipesocial
The Store section of your event on Snipesocial is a central space for browsing and managing products linked to your event. While you can search for and view product listings, new listings and major administrative actions must be managed via the timeline or other administrative tools. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this section and understand how it complements your event.
Step 1: Accessing the Store Tab
To get started:
- From your event page, click on the Store tab in the navigation menu located below the header image.
- This will take you to the store interface where all products associated with the event are displayed.
Step 2: Exploring the Store Interface
Key Features:
- Search Bar: Enter keywords to find specific products quickly.
- Product Listings: Displays product details such as name, price, and stock availability.
When you hover over a product, you’ll see a More button. Clicking this button reveals options for managing the selected product.
Step 3: Managing Products
Clicking the More button next to any product will allow you to:
- Mark as Sold: Update the product status to reflect it is no longer available.
- Edit Product: Modify product details such as pricing, stock, or description.
- Delete Post: Permanently remove the product from your event.
- Save Post: Bookmark the product listing for quick access later.
- Turn Off Commenting: Disable comments on the product listing.
- Open Post in New Tab: View the product in full detail on a separate page.
Step 4: Limitations of the Store Tab
The store tab is designed for searching, browsing, and minor product adjustments. Keep in mind:
- No Listing Options: You cannot add new products directly from this tab.
- Timeline Management: All product listings must be added or fully managed via the event’s Timeline section.
To make larger adjustments, such as uploading new products or creating a product category, return to the timeline where your event is administered.
Why Use the Event Store?
The event store serves different purposes based on whether you’re a page administrator or an individual running a standalone event. Here’s a breakdown of why this section might be useful:
For Page Administrators:
- Event-Specific Focus: If your page promotes multiple events or products, the event store allows you to narrow the focus to items relevant to a specific event.
- Enhanced Event Branding: Selling products tied to your event—like tickets, merchandise, or exclusive offers—can reinforce the event’s identity and encourage attendee engagement.
- Separate Management: By keeping products in the event store, you avoid cluttering your main page store with event-specific items.
For Individual Event Organizers:
- Simplified Product Management: If you don’t have a page but still need to showcase products related to your event, the event store provides an accessible way to do so.
- Event-Centric Sales: Use the store to manage ticket sales, merchandise, or other items directly tied to your event without needing a dedicated page.
Tips for Optimizing the Store:
- Regular Updates: Keep product information such as pricing and stock status current.
- Search-Friendly Titles: Use clear, descriptive product names to improve discoverability.
- Promote on Timeline: Share links to products in your event timeline to drive more visibility and engagement.
The store section is a valuable feature for any Snipesocial event. By effectively managing and promoting your products, you can enhance your event’s success while creating a seamless experience for your attendees.
